  • I can relate

    it seems that the world wants me to be a grudgeholder, but I tend to forgive also. It is a waste of life force to continue to hold spite. no matter how deep.

  • She'll be fine

    Children are very resilient. They adapt to certain situations better than adults do. Yes, she will stuggle through her teenage years - but what girl doesn't? At 6 years old she's already chosen to move on with her life. I'm sure she'll grow into a happy, well balanced adult. And someone is going to fall in love with her for what's in her heart and her head. She'll be okay, she's already got a good head on her shoulders.

  • A miracle

    I think that this level of forgiveness is the result of a very deep faith that must be the living fuel of this mother and her sister in their everyday life. In my opinion, it is what can most righteously be called a miracle, because no one in his right mind would normally expect it to happen.

    It has already be proven in Jesus' times though that not everybody is moved by miracles. The gates of the garden of Eden are always open but no one will ever be tossed inside against his will.

    Thanks for the post. It made my day.

    • eeeh

  • Very Sad, but you guys amaze me

    keep it up guys

  • What a shame

    I don't have such a big heart. If someone shot my daugther, I could never have forgiven them for putting her in a wheel chair for the rest of her life.
    It would have been easier if it was an accident, or even selfdefence, but like this? Oh man..
    Can she still have kid's?

  • KILL

    the monkey (the shooter)!!

  • No way. She's too soft

    And at six years old. She has no idea when she gets oldier. I bet she still won't be forgiving him then. Theres no way I could forgive anyone to be put into a wheel chair for life. Thats like if someone shot one of your family members and there dead. Would you forgive the person who pulled the trigger? I think not. Again, both the kid as well as the mother are too damn soft.

  • Very Compelling

    GOD says in the Quran

    Allah says: ‘Let them forgive and overlook, do you not wish that Allah should forgive you?’ ( Quran 24:22)

    May God bestow his mercy and blessings upon the mother and daughter

    and may he forgive the man

    • You know. . . about islam

      Its really a peaceful religion. But like christianity, Allah has had his bad days and commanded his people to destroy the heathens. These so-called "islamic terrorists" are taking context form those incidents as an excuse to commit crimes "in the name of Allah" when in truth they're breaking every rule and commandment he gave. Am i correct?

  • Don't forgive Him

    Shoot the bastard. Forgive him and tomorrow he'll shoot his next victim. You can not forgive a wolf. When someone has the ability or disability to shoot a human being he'll do it again. Take handguns and automatic guns out of people's hands in America. Execute murderers and armed robbers and rapists right away. After five years you can go out at 3am and feel safe in any neighborhood. Take my word on that. I've lived in countries with such system and crime is near zero.
